Back on My Feet is a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of homeless populations by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem. Back on My Feet started in 2007.
At Back on My Feet, all members - regardless of race, education or socioeconomic status - join together to move their own lives forward as well as the lives of their teammates. There are currently chapters in Philadelphia, Baltimore and, officially as of Monday, March 22nd, in Washington D.C. The nonprofit is expanding to Boston in May 2010 and Chicago in fall 2010.
